Fiji’s drug situation will make us “a nation of zombies” if nothing is done to nip this problem in the bud.
This was the message by the Home Affairs Minister Pio Tikoduadua while officiating at the opening of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) VESS (Visit, Board, Search, Seizure) school at the Republic of Fiji Navy training base, RFNS Viti, in Togalevu.
He also said an incident in Yasawa last week, where a bag of purported methamphetamine landed on the beach, meant these hard drugs were coming to Fiji by sea.
In Fiji, marijuana is making big money for the illegal farmers, but it is slowly turning our young people into nut cases and zombies.
Even though our police are doing a good job to eradicate the illegal drug, it does not stop others from planting in secret locations.
The million dollar question we all need to ask is will the law allow the planting of medicinal marijuana reduce or increase our current drug problems in Fiji?
Is the illegal marijuana and the medicinal marijuana the same plant or different?
It is common knowledge that those on their way to become zombies started their journey from a few marijuana rolls before trying hard drugs.
Fijians have been reminded to “Say No to Drugs.”
If we are really serious then medicinal marijuana should not be considered in Fiji
